Ditto. I don’t see how this is different/better from existing harnesses such as Opencode, Pi, and even “commercial” open source offerings such as the CLIs for Codex, Copilot, and Gemini, especially once tricked out with plugins and extensions.

Don’t forget this market insanity started around COVID, and has basically been succeeded by consequent crises with few dips.

The typical release cadence of PC components is around 4-6 years, which requires new motherboard, CPU, and RAM.
Adding in the GPU basically results in a new build, and that’s being generous assuming no upgrades/changes to other parts like PSU and storage.

My take is that a lot of these people wishing to upgrade are those who have simply been holding out since 2020 or earlier. This seems to vaguely match up with the Steam Hardware results, with a fair number of people still using RTX 3000 series or RX 6000 series, of which even the top end cards are starting to become par/outperformed by their modern mid level counterparts.

Docker’s main advantage is just being more well known and hence more supported as a default option.

Even then, I feel that this availability of docker compose files is an illusion, due to their verbosity and limitations inherent to docker. Less granular control of permissions, clunkiness in updating images, and multi container stacks feeling like an afterthought.

In pretty much all other ways podman feels superior. Cockpit provides a basic web gui, but quadlets are the main draw. Way easier to configure, explicitly designed for multi containers, and updating all images is a single command.

Roughly, the different ecosystems from least to most complex are:

Docker/Portainer -> Podman/Cockpit/Quadlets -> Kubernetes

As someone completely unfamiliar with the JavaScript mess, are these security issues specific to npm the actual repository or npm the package manager?

If it’s the latter, does using something else like yarn or bun instead help?

Maths feels like a first class citizen in latex. The syntax is ugly, but there is some logic through the legacy jank.

Typst makes fundamental design decisions that render it unsuitable beyond extremely simply equations. In LaTeX, curly braces are nearly always reserved for enclosing arguments, to avoid confusion with actual brackets.

Typst uses normal brackets for both its scripting and actual maths.

For example, \frac{n(n+1)}{2} in latex turns into (n(n + 1)) / 2 in typst. The typst code is incredibly unclear - the first set of brackets with the slash together actually form the fraction operator, so neither end up visible.

You can see how this would start to struggle even with high school level maths, with bracketed terms and possibly fractional terms in exponents, integrals, etc.

For example, it is very difficult for me to work out the difference between the following three in typst. That is specifically not what you want from a typesetting language.

1/2(x + y)
1/x(x + y)
1/2^x(x + y)

LaTeX ignores whitespace, so you can just use a formatter to space out your code and ensure the curly braces. This is not even an option in typst, which uses the space as an escape character.

Just use revanced - it has a whole bunch of patches which specifically disables reels etc, in addition to blocking ads.

Ubisoft asked the Rayman team (who have produced some of the best platformers) to develop Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, regarded as the best metroidvania of 2024.

It failed to meet sales expectations, so they disbanded the teams and cancelled the sequel.

Turns out gamers™️ do vote with their wallets, and they vote for churned out sequels.

This already exists, albeit not in federated form. It fundamentally doesn’t work because the market players have an incentive to withhold as much information as possible, because any mistakes consumers make from not comparing prices is direct profit surplus.

Collecting the information in the first place is also difficult, because it would essentially require getting the consent of most sellers (which they are disincentivised to provide), or just scraping it (often illegally).

Thus, such an aggregator requires too much work/risk, which needs to be compensated for. Consumers generally don’t like the idea of simply paying for independent advice/brokers, so we are stuck paying in other ways, such as via personal data and behavioural surplus for commercial tech sites, of which numerous exist.

Most search engines such as Google (eww I know) already have a shopping specific search page. eBay and Gumtree also have existed for decades.

eCommerce platforms like AliExpress and Amazon also already do this, if you set the filters to only be third party sellers.

There’s also category specific aggregators such as PCPartPicker/Newegg.

Side note, the restaurant analogy is exactly why I hate the seemingly American style of service where the waiter asks how the food is halfway through.

I guess that’s a good analogy for how creepy surveillance capitalism is, it’s like a waiter judging and recording your every move and reaction throughout the entire meal.

Because all in one distros have mistakes or bugs, for which fixes are only available in the next release 6-12 months later.

Other times, I know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it, but due to the vendors shenanigans (Ubuntu) it’s ironically much harder to fix. Adding extra repos via ppas and managing them is harder than just pulling it from AUR.

Having problems due to a vendor’s mistake and being unable to fix them was exactly why I wanted to move away from Windows and macOS. All in one distros kind of fail at addressing that. Arch is basically “fuck it, I’ll compile it myself”

Not sure of your specific needs, but I feel that self hosting (i.e. setting up a proper server) is unnecessary. Just pick a local first program and use it with syncthing.

The usual trio (which may be overkill) are Obsidian (admittedly not open source), Trillium, and logseq.

FYI logiops is smaller, and simpler daemon for Logitech devices. In my experience, it has more features and is less prone to breakage. Downside is no GUI, and everything is done via (a fairly simple imo) config file

Basically the home screen. Third party launchers used to be the frontier of introducing new features, like gestures, app drawer categories, different icon layouts like more columns/rows, customer icon theme packs, custom animations, etc.

The iOS equivalent if you jailbroke was SummerBoard/WinterBoard, a pun on SpringBoard (name of iOS launcher).

Single payer healthcare systems get all the political attention, but we really need a single payer judicial system. Basically public defenders but properly funded and for prosecution as well.

The US judicial system is also particularly bad because each party is responsible for their own legal fees. Most of the world has the loser pay the winner’s fees.

The Galaxy S5 had flagship specs, SD card slot, 3.5mm jack, IP67 water resistance, and a removable battery via a durable polycarbonate (plastic) back cover, back in 2014, a whole decade ago.

It was roasted by reviewers for being made out of “non premium” materials.

You can try to make an additional “user” that the TV uses, and set user specific transcode options.
